First off, good choice with the B/W. It certainly draws the attention to the horse himself. It also emphasizes the fantastic sharpness of face/eyes/etc. I think the DOF is just perfect. As you can probably tell by the score breakdown, this is a good shot. In other words, most thought it was good, fewer thought it was great and fewer thought it was poor.

I think that the main things holding this image back from a higher score would be the composition and the contrast. Specifically, I think (as did some of your commenters) that more contrast would be preferable (especially, I find, with B/W images), and the composition isn't very dynamic (just a bit off center). Also, there isn't really any emotive element. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, just something that might give the score a little boost.

Overall, I think it's a decent image and it scored fairly well. Good job!

Please PM me if you have any questions or comments.

Love the shot, but I'm not keen on the infra-red colouring.

I really don't understand the allure of this IR stuff. It looks so fake. Sorry...JMO. Good luck.

Nicely composed and framed. Not an infrared fan, much less so on a scene like this, which should reflect all the glorius greens and blues instead of the sickly, pallid colours that infrared gives.
